A selection that brings together three masters of crime fiction - Michael Connelly, Kathy Reichs and Ian Rankin, each revisiting the ghosts of unresolved investigations. From buried secrets to long-shadowed betrayals, these gripping novels prove that the past never stays silent for long.
Michael Connelly, The Last Coyote - Suspended from the LAPD and forced into therapy, Harry Bosch turns his enforced leave into the investigation he has spent his entire career avoiding: who murdered his mother in 1961, and why the trail leads to some of the most powerful men in Los Angeles.
Kathy Reichs, Monday Mourning - When three skeletons are unearthed beneath a Montreal pizza parlour, forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan fights to prove they are recent victims while a sceptical detective dismisses them as centuries-old burials. Carbon dating, antique buttons and a very modern killer say otherwise.
Ian Rankin, Saints of the Shadow Bible - Back from retirement and demoted to sergeant while his former protégé Siobhan Clarke is now his superior, Rebus is investigating a suspicious car crash when a 30-year-old case is reopened and his own conduct as a young officer comes under scrutiny.
